    she would love it if we all did it. 


    She would approve

     

    BTW I was back for her 97th last year. 
     


    Me:  I’m heading out to meet some friends 

    Mom:  You have friends??

    Me:  Who’s the little ***** now??

     

    Loved her.

    Welcome back Jim--and I am very sorry to hear about your loss.  Here's to Mary!


    Thanks man.  It was a great blowout win yesterday but wouldn’t it have been cool if it came down to the Bills winning with a Hail Mary?  😃

    My heartfelt condolences Jim 😢

     

    I think she raised a great son.


    Thanks!  I’ll tell my brother you said hello!  🤣


     

    Thanks everyone.  She was truly a huge Bills fan.  I have fond memories of her sitting in her chair listening Van on the radio even when the game was on TV.  
     

    And I’m very disappointed I didn’t get any advice. 😏😁

  4. I’ve not posted in a long time but we lost one of the Bills biggest fans yesterday and yes we looked behind the couch.  Mom passed early yesterday after 98 glorious years!  Many of you know she called JA “The Kid” from day one.  Josh signed this jersey The Kid for her birthday last year.  Go Bills Go Mary!  ❤️

    Now show us photos of unfortunate Americans in red states. 
     

    Hurry 

     

     


    Well unfortunately my plan backfired here seeing both those pictures were in ultra blue California. 
     

    I searched for unfortunate Americans in Blue states but all that came up were pictures of people in red state blue cities.  🤷🏻‍♂️

    We can stop selling guns to 18 year olds as soon as 18 year olds can no longer vote. 


    We can allow them to join the military, give them a gun and teach them how to kill other humans but not give them a gun and teach them to cull the herd and make venison sausage. 🙄

    Of course politics play a role with it - otherwise this whole argument would not have been initiated by Levi regarding the alt “left” nor you would have said this:

     


    Again - the socio-economic stats of red v blue states don’t support your argument. 


    Ok so if politics plays a role does it play a role in the massive crime and homelessness problem in cities like LA/SF/Seattle/Portland/Baltimore?  Shouldn’t those blue cities in blue states be utopian wonderlands?

    There has perhaps never been a dumber national obsession than the one that has existed over Donald Trump’s tax returns.

     

    Despite the IRS having had all of them over the decades, the press and its Democrat allies have long convinced themselves that Trump was illegally colluding with foreign nations and cheating on his taxes.

     

    They continued to hold that belief despite multiple audits of the former president over the years. Apparently, we were all supposed to believe that the IRS (the same IRS that targeted conservatives under Barack Obama) was actually a right-wing front group protecting Trump at all costs.

     

    In other words, the accusations about Trump’s taxes were always nonsensical and ridiculous. Sure enough, House Democrats have released its report on the matter (and have voted to release the actual returns).

     

    Get a load of this bombshell.

     

     

    Wait, do you mean to tell me that Trump’s financial fortunes went up or done depending on what year it was?

     

    And that he didn’t pay income taxes in the years that his losses outpaced his gains? What a shocking turn of events. We better spend the next week of the news cycle on this, pretending that it’s a major scandal.

     

    The long and short of this is that Trump did absolutely nothing outside the bounds of the current tax system. One could argue the current tax system sucks and benefits the ultra-wealthy. I might even agree, but that’s not what we were promised. We were promised Russian collusion and reams of fraud. Where is it?

     

    Naturally, the press will still act as if this is all major news, but it’s decidedly not. Trump not releasing his taxes was always about simply tweaking the left because they demanded them. Had they shut up, he might have released them a long time ago. But the moment they made it a crusade, Trump was never going to give in. That’s just not his style.

     

    Now, hundreds of years of precedent have been broken, with a private citizen’s tax returns being seized and released by congressional partisans for no other reason than to embarrass them. There was no legitimate legislative or investigative role here. And they did that for what? To show us that Trump uses the tax code like every other businessman?

    This is why smart rich people use investments for income.  You can harvest losses to offset gains.  You pay capital gains taxes which are typically lower than ordinary income.  And they also don’t pay FICA and SDI.

    Lots of reason Jim... people are poor in AMERICA for similar reasons - lack of education, low wages, affordable housing, childcare and universal preschool leading to mental health, desperation, breakdown of family and homelessness.

     

    Rural: spread out; lack of infrastructure/mobility which adversely impact easy access to medical care, education and often leads to underemployment. Lack of internet access, too. Urban: poor cannot afford land and often live in affordable housing; often found in cities, etc

     

    Across all races and ethnicities, U.S. poverty rates in 2019 were higher at 15.4 percent in nonmetro (rural) areas than in metro (urban) areas at 11.9 percent.

    So poverty has nothing to do with politics.  Got it. Thanks.
